The Kremlin had requested ambassadorial talks with the United States, France and Britain in notes to those countries on February 10, for the purpose of discussing "only West Berlin." The Allied acceptance notes rejected this limitation in hopes of discussing such issues such as freer communication's and an easier flow of goods, traffic and ideas between East and West Berlin. Their notes further proposed that the meeting be held in an allied council building in West Berlin. Washington officials said the western powers do not plan to ask for removal of the Berlin wall at this stage, but the subject might come up if there are signs of progress. No date for the talks has been set. LEON PANETTA, the out going chief of federal school de- segregation programs, accused President Nixon yesterday of mak- ing a mockery of his victory pledge to "bring us together." Addressing the Women's National Press Club, the resigning chief of the civil rights division at the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, said Nixon is so concerned with the politics of appeas- ing the South that he has abdicated his role as moral leader. Nixon's attitudes on' freedom of choice and busing is "taking the easy way out," Panetta claims. Panetta further accused the administration of a retreat in hiring policies of federal agencies, away from one requiring affirmative ac- tion in finding jobs for minorities toward one "that requires the agencies to say there is no discrimination and that's it." * * * -Associated Press 1~1 ~ 7* ~ .

By MARK DILLEN The students and administration of Ann Arbor Pioneer High School have reached a settlement regarding changes in school policy after a week of class boycotting by both black and white students. The agreement came out of a four hour meeting of black students with school principal Theodore Rokicki on Thurs- day. The points of agreement, to which Rokicki said he was "personally committed" include: -"Revision of our guidance andi- itornia with newsmen yester- ar Accelerator spectro- w, head of the Accele- C operations to Pompi- Lt French participation counseling organization to include one black counselor for each grade. Also needed is a scholarship or college counselor who is black." -"As a minimum goal, finding two black teachers for every de- partment as expansion dictates and vacancies occur." -"Expansion of coaching staffs. New coaches should be black." -"Expansion of black history to a two semester course available to at least 11th and 12th grades." -"Music after game dances on on a 1/3 black, 1/3 white, 1/3 other basis." -"Commitment to 'integration' of classes." -'Review by each department to insure that the role of the black American is part of each course of study." The week-long series of events leading to the agreement started Monday, when several black stu- dents were suspended fromschool for smoking. Many blacks felt the students had been suspended on suspicion only. The administration contended that a teacher had seen the students smoking and had re- ported it to the class principal, Robert L. Sloan, who then sus- pended the students. On Tuesday 120 blacks boycott- ed classes all day, talking to other students and formulating the de- mands to which Rokicki later, agreed. On Wednesday, four more black students were suspended by Ro- kicki when they refused'to go to class. The students had been standing in a corridor with some 60 other blacks who went to class at the request of black student leaders. Later in the morning, 1200 stu- dents, both black and white, left classes and met in the school's auditorium. The black students reiterated their demands, and were supported by the white stu- dents. Jointly they asked for sus- pension of smoking regulations and an "open campus" (freedom to leave school grounds during lunch hours). Although all suspended students were readmitted to school by yes- terday, students, in an additional demand, called for the firing of Sloan. Rokicki said this demand would have to be submitted through the school's regular griev- ance procedure. Strikieplan proposed byNixon WASHINGTON (R) - President Nixon yesterday unveiled a novel plan to Congress to avert crip- pling strikes in rail, airlines and other transport industries. Calling the' present transporta- tion acts ineffective and "actual- ly discouraging to genuine bar- gaining," Nixon outlined his pro- posal to make rail and airline dis- putes subject to the Taft-Hartley law with additional provisions to include labor relations in mari- time, longshore and trucking in- dustries as well. If Congress accepts Nixon's sug- gestions, the President would; be empowered to appoint a board of inquiry to investigate an impend- ing strike or lock-out which he feels m a y imperil the national health and safety. After receiving a board report on the issues involved, the Presi- dent could-then call for an 80-day cooling off period. Nixon further suggested t h a t the Taft-Hartley act be amended in order to give the President ad- ditional procedures to follow at the end of the cool-off period. Among these are the power to extend the cool-off period up to an additional 30 days or to permit part of an industry to strike while the "essential segments of the In- dustry" be kept in operation for as long as six months. A third option would allow the President to invoke a procedure of "final offer selection." Under this plan, parties to the dispute would have three days to submit one or two final offers to the secretary of labor. Following a five-day ne- gotiation period, the disputing sides would be asked to agree on three neutrals to study the final offers and select one without amendment, as the final and binding settlement. Organized labor in general, was said to believe Nixon's plan in- volves too much compulsion. No reason was given regarding the delay in disclosure of the mishap. HUBERT H. HUMPHREV said yesterday he expects to name his choice for the Democratic national chairman after tomorrow's meeting of the party's executive committee. Humphrey, the party's 1968 presidential nominee, conferred at breakfast yesterday with 12 Democratic governors and then went to Capitol Hill to meet with Democratic congressmen and senators. Humphrey said he is seeking someone who will be able to unite the party and "stay on the job between now and 1972." * * * THE SUPREME COURT agreed yesterday to decide whether servicemen accused of crimes on base have the constitutional right to be tried in civilian court. The appeal contends a serviceman accused of a crime in peace- time that is "without military significance" should have the same right as other citizens to trial by jury. Currently, the military decides which of these cases should be heard by court-martial and which by juries in civilian courts. Last June, in a- 5-3 decision, the court held for the first time that only "service-connected" crimes are, under the jurisdiction of military courts. The court's review probably will lead to a definition of what is a "service-connected" crime. The justices are also being asked to give the June ruling retroactive application, which could reopen scores of military convictions. ABM costs spiral PHONE RESERVATIONS: 769-0130 TICKETS AT THE DOOR AT SHOWTIME as (esting WASHINGTON OP) - Testings and improvements on the Safe- guard antiballistic missile system are addinghundreds of millions of dollars to the cost of the U.S. defense program, according to an official Pentagon report. The report states that design changes have added $650 million to the price of ABM in a single year. Critics of the Safeguard sys- tem insist that such figures are low and that in fact the cost of the defense shield will grow by the billions. Estimates provided to Congress this week indicate that if the Army deploys Safeguard at the 12 proposed sites, the program will cost $10.7 billion by the mid- 1970's - an increase of $1.6 bil- lion from 1969 figures. - MUSKET All Campus Theatrical Company Presents THE AWARD WINNING MUSICAL ********************* University experimenting with 'convenience' foods at Couzens By STEPHANIE RAPORTE "Couzens has the best food of all the dormitories I've eaten in," claims a senior resident there. Could it be the convenience food? Couzens is the only dorm on campus that serves convenience foods. It is the center of an ex- periment to see if such food can be eventually served in all Uni- versity residence halls.- Convenience foods, which re- semble TV dinners, come frozen and simply need to be put into the oven. Occasionally the cooks will add a little seasoning be- fore heating the food. Fifty percent of the meat and all the desserts at Couzens come pre-prepared. Couzens' t h r e e chefs still cook the non-con- venience foods s u c h as roast beef and pork chops, Certain parts of the meal, like salads, are prepared by kitchen staff the same as* in other dorms. Most of the convenience food is brand names such as Stouffer's or Sara Lee. Usually one convenience item is served with one non-convenience one. For example, one meat dish will be pre-prepared, and the other will not. Edward Salowitz, associate di- rect'or of University Housing says that Couzens was chosen as the dorm where the experi- ment was to be run because it had flexibility of equipment and had storage and o v e n space. "The object of the program," says Mrs. Frye, a dietician at Couzens, "is to find a satisfac- tory, economical, and fast way to feed a mass number of peo- ple." If the experiment with con- venience food is successful, there will be great savings in labor costs, she says. At Couz- ens this year, the experiment has saved $3,000 on food and labor costs, says Salowitz. According to Salowitz, one major disadvantage to the pro- gram is that it limits diversity and embellishments. S o u t h Quad, Salowitz.esays, is known for its soups because the cook can prepare them in his own special way whereas at Couzens all the soups are Campbell's and cannot be altered to any great extent. It has not been decided, Sal- owitz says, whether the pro- gram will be continued n e x t year at Couzens of whether it will be instituted next year in other residence halls. confinues Nuclear warheads for the mis- sile interceptors - budgeted sep- arately under the Atomic Energy Commission - would cost an ad- ditional $1.2 billion, for a total of about $12 billion. The Pentagon says $395 million of the increase has resulted from inflation and $575 million is due to a six-month delay last year in the deployment work of the first two authorized. ABM sites. I Several factors contributed to the remaining $650 million bulge, defense officials say. One factor, an ABM planner said in an interview, the Missile Site Radar, which will guide Safe- guard anti-missile in intercepting enemy nuclear warheads, needs to be made more nearly impervious to atomic blasts. This may c o s t upwards of $50 million. Additional millions will be re- quired by the Army to testfire the short-range Sprint interceptors from their operational sites, pro- bably in 1975, he said. The Army has been testing the ISprint antimissile at the White Sands, N.M., range for several months. But no provision has been made for test launches from the Sprint sites around Air Force Minuteman ICBM complexes - which Safeguard will be defend- ing-in Montana, North Dakota and Missouri. Whether the Sprints would be fired toward an actual target- a dummy warhead, for example- or whether they would merely be shot toward a pre-selected point, in space has not been decided, thej official added. The Pentagon has also decided to develop a new version of Sprint's big brother, the Spartan antimissile, which is supposed to make intercepts several hundred miles out in space. The Improved Spartan, as it is now designated, would be design- ed specifically to intercept sub- marine-launched ballistic missiles and depressed-trajectory ICBM. Advet The University of Mic (i.e. theory and prerec offers you EXPERIEI Well-known ship designer Professor Adams dies at 78 Henry Carter (Adams, II, pro- fessor emeritus of naval architec- ture and marine engineering at the University died Thursday at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., today at the St. Andrews Episcopal Church, with the Rev. Gordon M. Jones officiating. Bur- ial will be at Forest Hill cemetery. Retired from the active faculty seven years ago, Prof. Adams was an expert in stability and struc- tural strength. He advised public and private agencies in admiralty cases and rendered expert opin- ions on such topics as the feasible length of Great Lakes ships. A native of Ann Arbor and son of, t h e pioneer economist after whom a distinguished professor- ship was created at the University, Prof. Adams received his bache- lor's and master's degrees from the University. He also, did grad- uate work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He first joined the faculty in 1928 as an assistant professor, holding that appointment until 1943 when he received the rank of associate professor. He became a full professor in 1953. On the occasion of his retire- ment, the Regents noted, "Prof. Adams maintained a close rap- port with students, to whom his door was always open; he main- tained high standards of per- formance by mutual understand- ing rather than by fiat. In the ex- tremely busy years after the Sec- ond World War, many duties of counseling, credit adjustment, and curriculum arrangement devolved upon him, and he continued to supply these services until t h e time of his retirement."
